Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Lefant M1 Robot Aspirateur

  • Excellent suction effectively collects pet hair
  • Intelligent LiDAR navigation
  • Compact, slim design fits beneath furniture
  • Convenient app supports virtual no-go zones
  • Good battery life around 150 minutes

What customers don't like about Lefant M1 Robot Aspirateur

  • Mapping functions in the app could be improved
  • Wi-Fi connectivity is limited to 2.4 GHz
  • No carpet detection for automatic suction boost
  • Water tank is considered small and some users say it vacuums better than it mops

Verdict

The Lefant M1 is a compact 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring an ultra-slim 32cm diameter and a 9.4cm height designed to fit easily under furniture. It boasts powerful 5500Pa suction, advanced dToF LiDAR navigation for precise multi-floor SLAM mapping, and a 4000mAh battery that delivers up to 150 minutes of runtime to cover 200m² on a single charge. Main characteristics include a 520ml dustbin, a 160ml electronically controlled 3-level water tank, FreeMove 3.0 infrared anti-collision tech, and smart integration with Alexa and Google Home. Its primary pros are its impressive cleaning performance on pet hair, the ability to customise no-go zones via the app, and quiet 55dB operation. However, a major con is the lack of an automatic self-emptying base station, requiring users to manually empty the internal dustbin frequently.
